    Additional Information:

    Internal name
    The name of the resource model as used by the VisitTree code and from the command line. The internal name must be unique across all IBM Tivoli Monitoring based products, so it should be prefixed with descriptive or categorical name such as "DB2_Dataspace," rather than the generic "DatabaseSpace." This name must be alphanumeric, start with a letter, and contain no blanks.
    Descriptive name
    The name that displays in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring profile list of resource models and in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Web Health Console.
    Category internal name
    A name for the resource model. This name displays in internal databases and defines groups that include similar resource models.

    This name must be alphanumeric, start with an alphabetic letter, and contain no blanks. All resource models that have the same Category Internal name display under the same category option.

    Category descriptive name
    A descriptive name for the resource model. This name displays in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows when the operator opens a profile containing that resource model. It also displays in the message catalog. This name defines groups that include similar resource models.
    Major version
    The major and minor version numbers assigned to a resource model prevent installation of an older version than the one currently installed. Initial resource models must have a Major version of 1 and Minor version of 0, such as version 1.0.
    Minor version
    The major and minor version numbers assigned to a resource model prevent installation of an older version than the one currently installed. Initial resource models must have a Major version of 1 and Minor version of 0, such as version 1.0.

    The time interval (in seconds) between two successive data collections. You can modify the displayed default value in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows.
